1969 Mustang Fastback w/ Detroit Speed suspension

I figured after 12yrs on the forum it was about time for me to post my latest project. I was given the car about 7-8yrs ago by my uncle, I believe he bought sometime in the early 80’s. For the last 18-20mos or so I with a good friend have been doing some upgrades although I’ve been stalled on it for roughly 10-12mos due to life, kids etc we’ve gotten a ton done in the last 3 wks. It’s getting DSE suspension, mild 302ci, 5spd, disk brakes, RECARO seats it’s kind of a basic/budget build with some used CL parts except the suspension of course. I decided to not paint it For now because the intent was to have fun, do some track days and autocross and figured why bother. It was painted before I acquired it and it’s definitely a 20 footer I figured I’ll probably wrap it at a later date.

Updates will come pretty quick as we are pretty much done with the install and hope to have it fired by the end of the month.

The first pic is how I remember it as a kid circa mid 80’s.

Hello Jeff,

Great car. This body style is one of my all time favorites, and it will be really good to see it on the road & on the track. Can't wait for some updates, and hearing about the track experiences. Let the good times roll!

Regards

Awesome! I much prefer the 69 to the 70 cars. Please keep us updated and good luck with the build.

Easily my favorite body style mustang. I will have one some day.

Looking forward to the updates!

You're going to love the DSE Alumaframe! I've put 20k miles + on mine, both on the street and the track, and have had zero issues!
